Test drove the Virtus 1.0 AT yesterday afternoon. I wanted to TD the 1.0 MT but it wasn't available.
A few observations and my experience that's based on my current 2012 Tata Manza.
The SA was enthusiastic about showing off the car and its features. Their uniforms are smartly casual, and that created a relaxed atmosphere in the showroom. At least for me, it created a space for relaxed communication. For comparison, the Skoda showroom was more business-like. Nothing bad with either approach, but I preferred the VW approach. I'm getting the 1.0 MT test drive tomorrow, so will update with pictures. I couldn't get pictures yesterday.
Please excuse my language, no offence to anyone.
I feel that the Slavia is like a trophy girlfriend, there is a lot of attraction, some mystery (in a good way) since you don't know each other fully well, you want to spend as much time together as you can. You know someone will be jealous (how did he wind up with her?!). The Virtus, on the other hand, feels like a girlfriend of several years. You know she has the grace and maturity, there's a certain warmth that only she can bring, and gives you space to be on your own while you know she will always have your back. You know someone will remark "they make a great couple".
Here's what BHPian TechnoBloop had to say about the matter:
- Point number 6 - I guess that problem is only there with test drive cars. My relative in Kerala got his Virtus recently, the boot opens and locks at the top position, no wobbling. Checked one out myself in the showroom too!
- Point number 8 - Highline gets both Manual and Automatic AC option, as per the choice of the customer.
